Chapter 2 – Galactica's POV
Galactica was a buzz of activity; there were news teams, honourable guests, tour guides and civilians all present for the decommissioning of the Galactica.
Kara Thrace was one of the most gifted pilots to ever grace a battlestar, the one problem was she knew it, as she ran through the corridors, her presence commanded attention. She was legendary at three things, flying, cards and insubordination.
The decommissioning ceremony was to be held in the starboard hanger deck, after a gun salute from the marines, which were left aboard Galactica, there was an air display of manoeuvres involving the vipers and raptors, naturally Starbuck took centre stage, twirling and twisting her viper in dramatic fashion. The audience below followed this dazzling display with envious eyes; there hearts were caught in their throats as the vipers dived down to fly directly underneath the landing deck.
It was late evening and the majority of passengers had left to their own ships, for the trip back to the colonies, Galactica was to be moored at a remote outcrop called Aremac, for her stripping down and turning into a museum, a basic crew would be left aboard to oversee maintenance and entertain visitors when the museum opened, fortunately for the visitors Starbuck would not be one of them, with her flying capabilities and short fuse it was decided she would be best relocated to a battlestar which would see more action.
When Kara Thrace was told of her new posting she very near bite the mans head off.
"I've go to go where…" Starbuck yelled
"Ttthe…At…Atlantia" The man stuttered
Starbuck went for a run to cool her head. On her third lap of the Galactica, a call nobody had heard in a while,
"Action Stations, Action Stations, Condition 1"
In CIC, Colonel Tigh and Commander Adama prepared to jump.
"I want this ship in the action zone," Commander Adama said
"Jumping" Lt Gaeta, declared
After Jump
"Position?" Colonel Tigh inquired
"Orbit of caprica, sir" Lt Gaeta replied
"Well done Mr Gaeta", Commander Adama said, "Status?"
"One battlestar launched sir, identity…Atlantia" Lt Gaeta told CIC.
"Message from the Atlantia sir" Dee said, "Message reads, thank you for the assist lead survivors to safety, message ends"
"Send them conformation and tell them we will be going to Ragnar", Commander Adama instructed.
The Galactica watched as Atlantia withdrew from formation to allow civilian ships to come between. All at once there was an almighty explosion from the surface of Sagittarian. The Atlantia was buffeted backwards and blown off of course by the explosion, problem from tillium fields. The crew and commander searched in vain for the battlestar but on their dradis was only static. After hours of searching defeat was admitted and Commander Adama gave the order for, all, ships to jump to the orbit of Ragnar.
Privately in his room later the Commander reflected on how in some eyes he could have appeared to abandon his own son.
